Traveler Harvester with Cabana Roof option, combined with a Scout specific low profile camper top like the Ursa Minor or Hatchet, apologies for ridiculously bad photo hack...

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
I'd expect the efficiency hit to be way less for an aerodynamic roof top camper shell vs a trailer, and since the Traveler is quite a bit larger than a JKU it could be pretty roomy, add in the Frunk and gigantic (by comparison) cargo area and it might work really well.
Big ass battery down low keeps CG lower too compared to the Jeep.

This is my dream as well. Campteq is doing conversions on 5th gen 4runners by cutting the roof out. Seems like the Traveler was made for this with the large cabana roof opening from the factory.

Cool idea but I wonder about weight capacities since most of the roof of the Traveler will be open. I wonder just how much weight it could support? 
This is my dream camper set up... Just swap out the R1T for a Terra in this case:
Essentially the "Traveler Westy" I would not be surprised if some companies work on this specifically either GFC or Roofnest. GFC has yet to do an OEM integration but this could be a great idea for the Scout team to pick up on and see if GFC would be down to at least concept the idea together.
There was a bespoke tent available for the OG Scout II that enclosed the tailgate area, held in place with magnets. Made sleeping in the back pretty easy with rear seat folded forward, I was stoked to get one with my first Scout II, a '78. Something like that could be cool as well since a fridge could go in the frunk.
I imagine some companies will eventually make a form-fitting rack and tent similar to what BA Tents made for the LR3/LR4

It will be more than another competitor known for overlanding.
